Testimonials
Northwest AHEC has been a major factor in the library services at Wilkes Regional Medical Center. The AHEC librarian helped me decide which books to use and to get our first library established. AHEC librarians are instrumental in journal and literature searches . . . Nursing staff can access information by going to the AHEC Digital Library and looking in journals for current information, or they can ask for a literature search or do it themselves. I just have to say that the Northwest AHEC librarians are wonderful!
